The Upper deck is the "street" and the lower deck is the (now idle) original aqueduct. http://www.nycanal.com/nycanalhistory.html |

Think about what causes a boat to float (or anything to float). His point will come to you. Or Google displacement T |

Think about what causes a boat to float (or anything to float). His point will come to you. Or Google displacement T You are absolutely right. It is all about displacement. And as said earlier the theory is very basic and discussed in High School physics. An earlier claim (by bassy) that the load is static is also wrong due to varying degrees of pedestrian traffic on either side of the bridge and possible wakes caused by boats traveling at higher speeds. I though bassy was structural design engineer. ;-) |
